Abstract
In this chapter, investigations are presented to clarify the underlying physical processes of the observed improvements achieved with collinear double pulses studying the space- and time-resolved dynamics of the plasmas generated by laser double pulses interacting with metallic samples, as well as the plasma state in terms of electron density and temperature.
